Description
At the turn of the 20th century, collectors began acquiring Native American objects with increasing fervor. Often, collectors created specific display areas within their homes to showcase their treasures. Called “Indian Corners,” these areas featured a hodgepodge of ritual objects, textiles, ceramics, and images. Created and curated by artist and scholar Wendy Red Star, the IDEA Space exhibition Indian Corner examines the impetuses and implications of collecting Native objects and artifacts. The exhibition features a kitsch version of a 21st Century “Indian Corner” juxtaposed with objects from the Colorado Spring Fine Arts Center’s collection of Native American objects. The exhibition will be on display from February 24 - March 14, Tuesday through Saturday, 12:30 - 7 p.m.
